JOE is the professional freeware ASCII text screen editor for UNIX.
It makes full use of the power and versatility of UNIX, but lacks
the steep learning curve and basic nonsense you have to deal with
in every other UNIX editor. JOE has the feel of most IBM PC text
editors: the key-sequences are reminiscent of WordStar and Turbo-C.
JOE is much more powerful than those editors, however.  JOE has
all of the features a UNIX user should expect:  full use of
termcap/terminfo, excellent screen update optimizations (JOE is
fully usable at 2400 baud), simple installation, and all of the
UNIX-integration features of VI.
